Chapter 694: Reborn
Time flies, and no one knows the exact annual rings have quietly turned several times.
In the hinterland of the desert known as the Sea of Death, Chu Junyin's broken body also opened its long-closed eyes at this moment.
Although his body is almost in pieces and may be annihilated under the endless yellow sand at any time,
But thanks to the protection of Xiyuan and Blood Seed, Chu Junyin's fire of consciousness has not been completely extinguished.
However, it is always difficult to have both ends of the world. Due to the extreme lack of energy,
His super-fast regeneration ability is also restricted at this moment, and he can no longer display its power.
All he has left now is his head, and some tangled blood,
The weak candlelight that barely maintains life is lingering in this desolate place.
His movements were limited to the most basic range, at most he could move his lips and roll his eyes.
"Hungry……"
This word has been swirling and echoing in his mind since the moment he woke up.
It gradually expanded until it almost completely swallowed up all his reason and consciousness.
It is a hunger that goes deep into the bone marrow and hits the soul directly. It is the most primitive desire and call for food.
In this dead and cruel land, every minute and every second of Chu Junyin's life was full of suffering.
The only remaining head of Chu Junyin was buried alone in the sand.
But incredibly, I experienced such a strong physical feeling of "hungry".
In order to save energy, Chu Junyin had to suspend most of the activities of his consciousness at this moment, letting his consciousness fall into a state of stillness that was almost meditative.
However, even in this almost stagnant state of thinking, his instincts began to take over his body.
Instinct is not controlled by consciousness, but it is more decisive and direct than any reason.
Driven by it, blood veins stretched out from the remains of his body below the neck.
During that time, because the gamma rays had not dissipated,
Xueluo can only swallow some cacti and other remaining plants. Although they provide a short-term energy supply, they are far from being able to satisfy the huge energy required for Xueluo's instinctive growth.
As Chu Junyin woke up from his deep sleep, his desire for survival was infinitely amplified by instinct.
This force pushes the blood vessels, extending forward desperately,
They crossed the yellow sand, bypassed the rocks, and continued to extend.
…
Beyond the sea of death, there is still a vast expanse of desert and Gobi.
Although it is equally desolate, there are many more oases than the sea of sand inside that has completely annihilated all life.
At this moment, a sand scorpion was quietly shuttling through the gaps in the sandstone.
Its figure looked extremely agile in the dim sunlight,
However, at this moment, a pink blood vein stretched out silently like a ghost,
At a speed that caught the Sand Scorpion off guard, it tightly wrapped around one of its legs.
Sand Scorpion struggled in fear, but found that all his efforts were in vain.
Its entire body was pulled uncontrollably by the huge force, and it slowly sank under the sand.
Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp and decisive sound of the carapace shattering, "Crack".
Came from the depths of the sand, followed by a series of chewing sounds that made the scalp numb and teeth chattering.
The tiny suckers densely covered on the blood veins are like countless hungry little mouths,
Bite the sand scorpion's carapace tightly, chew it bit by bit, and then swallow it without mercy.
Then these substances that were chewed into paste underwent transformation inside the blood collaterals,
Not a trace of residue was left behind, and everything turned into energy and flowed into Chu Junyin's incomplete body.
As the entire sand scorpion was completely digested, a piece of flesh and blood that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye poked out of Chu Junyin's remains.
Scenes like this are constantly happening in a vast area with Chu Junyin as the center and a radius of hundreds of miles.
As time goes by, Chu Junyin’s instinct seems to gradually realize,
Although this method of replenishing energy by devouring desert creatures was effective, it was too inefficient and time-consuming, and was far from being able to meet his urgent recovery needs.
Under the control of his subconscious mind, the originally extremely scarce energy was wisely redistributed.
It is no longer used blindly to reshape his broken body, but directly poured into the blood.
Therefore, under his broken neck, a complete shoulder and neck structure did not grow.
Instead, there were several unusually thick and vibrant blood veins.
Therefore, these blood vessels can also eject a special substance mixed with acidic liquid and weak plasma from their suckers.
This substance can quickly paralyze prey the moment it comes into contact with it.
This makes the process of capture and digestion extremely efficient, and the prey will be completely decomposed almost instantly.
As time went by, the part below Chu Junyin’s head underwent unprecedented transformation.
The originally fragile flesh and blood was gradually replaced by these long, sharp blood veins covered with suckers.
The hunting efficiency of these bloodlines is beyond imagination.
This allowed Chu Junyin to accumulate enough pure energy to support its operation in a very short period of time.
Finally, Chu Junyin's long-sleeping consciousness slowly woke up under the nourishment of sufficient energy.
With the help of Xi Yuan, Chu Junyin began to look at himself,
Today, he is no longer the human being he once was.
Under the head, it is almost entirely composed of meridians.
Underneath the blood channels is a huge grape-like tissue structure.
It is made up of countless lumps tightly connected, with a hint of indescribable terror.
The surface of these masses is covered with intricate blood vessels of different sizes.
These lumps are the energy reservoirs evolved from Chu Junyin's instincts, used to store excess life energy waiting to be used.
At this time, Chu Junyin could not help but have an unprecedented thought in his heart.
Perhaps from this moment on, he no longer needs those complicated internal organs and torso.
You only need to rely on these blood channels to directly absorb nutrients from heaven and earth, and continuously strengthen yourself.
And that excess energy is simply stored in these masses for emergencies.
This thought broke through Chu Junyin's long-term confusion and confusion.
He realized that during this long period of sleep and evolution, he had instinctively abandoned those cumbersome physical structures and instead pursued a more efficient and purer way of survival.
Without the burden of his trunk and internal organs, his body structure has become more optimized than ever before.
Every time it catches food, energy can be stored to the maximum extent.
Between the intense consumption and replenishment of energy, the ultra-fast regeneration function in Chu Junyin's body was activated again.
This time, it demonstrated its power in an even more amazing way.
Around the blood sucker, several rows of small and precise holes miraculously grew.
These small holes are like miniature high-pressure water cannons, capable of ejecting strong airflow to drive away the surrounding yellow sand.
It provides a steady stream of power for Xueluo's activities under the sand layer.
…
I don’t know how much time passed, but a camel slowly walked out of the Sea of Death.
But the strange thing is that there is no heavy cargo on its back, nor is there an owner driving it.
Two days after leaving the Sea of Death, the camel began to undergo an incredible transformation.
Its body is like a sand sculpture eroded by time, constantly shrinking.
The flesh and blood tissue structure is also disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the end, only a huge but haggard camel carcass was left in this vast desert.
It lay there quietly, a lonely footnote in this desolate land.
The night is as dark as ink, and the moonless sky is even darker.
If you look carefully when the light conditions are good, you can barely see that there are more than one camel mummy on the ground.
But at this moment, after all the nutrients from its body were drained, only a body of dried flesh and blood was left.
The cracks on the surface of the corpse became larger and larger, and there seemed to be a huge heart beating continuously inside.
As the wind and sand blew, the camel's body was almost broken, revealing a huge pink ball of flesh.
Chu Junyin didn't care about his strange or even terrifying appearance at this moment.
He knew that this was only temporary. After he accumulated enough energy, he would still change back to himself.
But at that time, the structure of his body may no longer be the same as that of humans because he needs to store more energy.
But for Chu Junyin, this is what he must experience on his own evolutionary path.
He didn't care.
The surface of that huge pink flesh ball is covered with fine blood vessels like a fishing net.
And densely packed, tiny and orderly pores.
The flesh ball moved slowly with an indescribable strange frequency.
At this time, a storm is brewing quietly in the sky.
The raging wind blew the sand and dust up to a height of more than ten meters, and beat it hard on the meat ball.
In this world ruled by sandstorms, everything seems to have no choice but to accept the fate of being submerged.
However, the flesh ball stood firm like a rock, remaining motionless despite the raging storm.
Immediately afterwards, turbulent waves of sand kept pressing towards the meat ball, trying to swallow it.
Even such a violent attack only made the meat ball move slightly by a few centimeters.
At this moment, the blood vessels on the surface of the flesh ball suddenly began to flash with bursts of dazzling blood-red light.
Then, a blood vessel as thick as a baby's arm burst suddenly,
The bright red blood splashed out like a fountain, falling on the black Gobi nearby, and was instantly buried by the raging sand.
The meat ball began to tremble violently, bursts of strange and invisible energy,
Spreading around it like a tide, with it as the center of the circle,
The sea of sand within a radius of a hundred meters began to exhibit a strange frequency, swaying gently.
And in those thick and knotted blood vessels, there seems to be something alive that is ready to move.
They began to explore outwards, and every touch caused slight ripples in the surrounding air.
It seems to break down all the barriers that bind them.
For a moment, those blood vessels seemed unable to withstand the pressure inside,
They began to explode one after another, and the bright red blood was like gorgeous fireworks,
They scattered in the vast sea of sand, adding a shocking color to this desolate place.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a crisp sound of "stab\
,"The originally tough surface of the meat ball was suddenly broken open by a small opening.
Then a hand with a faint glow of blood slowly stretched out from the crack.
This hand grabbed the crack of the meat ball without hesitation and tore it hard.
Along with a tearing sound, the entire flesh ball was torn into two pieces.
A tall and thin man slowly stood up from the torn flesh ball,
He has neat short black hair, which clings to his scalp under the wash of the heavy rain.
Blood continued to flow from his face, adding a bit of weirdness and horror to him.
His face was as pale as if he had just experienced a serious illness, or had just woken up from a long sleep.
At this moment, the Black Gobi Desert, which had not seen rain for many years, was experiencing a heavy rain.
The rain poured down, as if it was washing the whole world.
He looked up at the dark cloud-covered sky, and a bolt of lightning suddenly cut through the sky, lighting up the whole world in an instant.
At that moment, he seemed to shine with the sky and the earth, becoming the most dazzling existence in the world.
Accompanied by the huge rumble of thunder, the man slowly lowered his head.
He used this brief light to carefully examine everything around him.
"I...succeeded..."
Most of the consciousness and senses that had been actively closed due to the extreme lack of energy were reactivated at this moment.
A large amount of information surged like a tide, pouring into his long-lost brain.
This information is like a broken puzzle piece, piecing together his past memories piece by piece.
From the moment his body was mercilessly destroyed by a cobalt bomb, to the moment he tried his best to hide the last trace of life in the depths of the sand sea.
From escaping from the nuclear explosion, to finally surviving in this endless sea of sand.
All of this was awakened at this moment, replaying in his mind like a movie.
In those remaining fragments of consciousness, the sense of time still exists,
More than five years have passed since he was buried in this sea of sand.
This long period of time is enough for those deadly gamma rays to completely dissipate.
It also allowed him to finally accumulate enough energy to restart his body and return to this world again.
However, the moment he woke up, the sandstorm and heavy rain seemed to become more violent.
The rising sand and the rain were like the roar of a giant beast, getting higher and higher and more violent.
Around Chu Junyin's body, except for the raging sand and dust, he could hardly see anything, and he had no idea where he was.
But to him, these were nothing but trivial matters.
He quickly checked his body and saw that the breath elements were stronger than five years ago, covering almost two-thirds of his body.
These breath elements have become one with him, like his limbs, and can be manipulated as he wishes.
Under the influence of Xi Yuan, he can even easily manipulate the surrounding electromagnetic field.
Not only that, Chu Junyin was also keenly aware of the essence of Xiyuan.
Those seemingly invisible elements of information are actually condensed from countless miniature electromagnetic fields.
This discovery made him have a bold idea: "If the whole body is replaced by Xi Yuan..." (End of Chapter)
